Renewable fuels, such as biofuels and hydrogen (when produced with renewable processes) are fuels produced from renewable resources. This is in contrast to non-renewable fuels such as natural gas, LPG (propane), petroleum and other fossil fuels and nuclear energy. Renewable fuels have gained in popularity due to their sustainability, low contributions to the carbon cycle, and in some cases lower amounts of greenhouse gases.

  • Renewable fuels, such as biofuels and hydrogen (when produced with renewable processes) are fuels produced from renewable resources. This is in contrast to non-renewable fuels such as natural gas, LPG (propane), petroleum and other fossil fuels and nuclear energy. Renewable fuels have gained in popularity due to their sustainability, low contributions to the carbon cycle, and in some cases lower amounts of greenhouse gases. The and geo-political ramifications of these fuels are also of interest, particularly to industrialized economies which desire independence from Middle Eastern oil. Each fuel is still in development and no fuel is yet seen as a ready-made replacement for petroleum. For example, ethanol has both advantages and disadvantages. Many caution that ethanol is only one part of a solution to a complex problem which must include an enormous ramp-up in alternative energy sources that include wind and solar power, hydroelectric power, bio-diesel, hydrogen fuel-cells, improved batteries, nuclear energy, and energy conservation.
